    Can I ask a printing question as well please?
    I've been trying to get the Curiously cinnamon pdf for a few days but each time I try it freezes my 'puter :(
    Have tried on PC, laptop & netbook
    TIA


    Do you have Adobe set to update automatically? If not you might need the most up to date version to read pdfs. I find that when Firefox updates it takes a wee while for pdfs to work properly again and they can take ages to load. Pm me if you are still having trouble.

    It's only a game

    About to go to sainsburys and gonna try for the lager. I have coupons ready, do I need to buy just 7 packs of lager and I will get a £10 voucher or do I need to buy other items to take it up to £20/over the number of items I need?

    THanks



    You need to buy a little something as well like an onion? to cover the odd 7p difference as you have to spend more than £20 in s's to get a bm :)
  • Anyone know if I return Febreeze Fabric Freshener to Mr T will they will give me a refund, or will they see that I used lots of vouchers when paying, although they can not see what the vouchers were for as I did actually pay some cash as well. I bought these priced at £2.99 hoping they would compare to Mr A, on 2 for £3 but they have come back N/A, thought I would get this instead of air freshener as we actually use this, for carpets.
    £2015 in 2015 (Although actual goal is £10 a day)

    No 7 x £3 is £21 so you are over the £20 you need to spend.

    Reading through some of these :eek: emergency anecdotes, I've been struggling not to participate and now I give in to the temptation.....

    I know of a lady who prepared for her smear appointment to the added extent of using a personal fragrance item. After the smear had been performed, she realised to her horror that she had applied party glitter spray instead of FF:eek:



    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    I'm glad you posted this! :) kids are asking what I'm laughing at! :eek:

    Right, I've worked out my shops from last night - bargain city!

    T
    12 pack of Corona beers, 3 x pot noodles, 8 x bottles of water, sweetcorn, loaf of bread, 2 packs of bread rolls, lettuce, 2 punnets of peaches, 3 packets of celery, sensations crisps (BOGOF for 75p!), bag of avocados, bag of limes. Total price (including discounts, MOC, JTD). £5.05 :T

    Then onto A
    Bag of onions, cucumber, strawberries, tomatoes, ham, 2 bottles of strawberry cider (yum), copella apple lemonade, biscuits, doughnuts, aero bar, coleslaw. Total should have been £11.23 but when I produced my APG's, the SA on SS voided each receipt before scanning them. She got herself in a pickle when I said I didn't think i needed them all but she'd marked them already. Then I ended up as -£4.44 :eek: She was in a tizz, I was annoyed cos then it looked like all my APG's had been redeemed. So she says "do you want to buy anything else?" I didn't but grabbed a £5 bottle of wine. Then had to pay 56p balance. Trotted off t CS (was knackered and sweaty at this point) and got a £5 refund. Couldn't work out what I'd spent and only just gone through it all now. Turns out she'd scanned the largest APG of £4.49 three times (?) but voided off only once. So my total A shop came to -£4.44.

    Last nights haul in 6 carrier bags cost me the princely sum of 61 pence :T:rotfl:

    Brilliant :) I'm on a learning curve. So thank you to everyone who posts all these great deals.
